I was searching for wireless security cameras on Google last night to install on my garage, now I went to Youtube and the ad was for wireless cameras, fuck this is scary how much browser tracking goes on.

They don't care about your personal data, though, ads just need a way to find out more info about people and which ones to show. Mostly just so that advertisers can have more criteria to bid on, making specific bids more expensive and accurate.
